Retreat Overview

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by one of our Retreat Facilitators or Owners and be given a tour. 

During your disconnect to reconnect time with us you will be taught how to make your own nutritionally packed smoothies for breakfast and lunch this will allow you to become empowered to learn how to take the skills of eating healthy home with you.

You can look forward to sunrise meditation twice a week on the beach, walks on the beach, bike rides around town, daily meditation, two yoga classes a day (except Saturday), and a variety of classes, lectures, movies, or events scattered throughout the week in the evenings. 

In your free time you will get to choose to lounge around the resort style pool, hot tub, or hang out in one of our hammocks under the 500 sq ft Seminole Indian chickee hut. You can look forward to receiving 2 spa services per week. Included in your package each week is: 1 60-minute massage, and a 60-minute hot - cold spa therapy, journey guided through pool, hot tub, infrared sauna with chromo-light therapy and cold plunge. 

Prior to your arrival, we will schedule your Spa appointments for your healing and relaxing. We offer upgrades for spa services, such as added massage; acupuncture; thai massage; facials; reflexology; IV infusions; body wrap or scrub treatments; colonics; nutritional health/life coaching; energy clearing therapy; regenerative stem cell therapy; Plant Medicine Immersions- all of which can be added to your retreat upon request (all by availability/ added fees apply).  

 In the evening many of our guests will go out to eat for dinner at our hand-picked restaurants here in the downtown Boca area. Some of the Favorite Restaurant List Options include: Farm to table, Thai, Asian-fusion, Indian, Sushi, Mexican - all options give you the choice of being healthy to more decadent! Many of our guests enjoy eating outside at our Living Green Cafe, which is a European style cafe.   

To Venture Out We Recommend Visiting (some have add’l fees):

Nationally recognized Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens, 188.5 acres of zen and beautiful grounds for relaxing walks in south Florida’s flora and fauna. 
Gumbo Limbo Nature Center - The center includes an indoor museum with exhibits, small aquariums, and a gift shop, plus more major outdoor facilities including several large aquariums featuring ecosystems for fish, turtles, and other sea life, a boardwalk trail through the adjacent woods, and a garden designed for observing butterflies.
Yamato Scrub Natural Area - A 217-acre natural area atop the Atlantic Coastal Ridge in Boca Raton, Yamato Scrub protects the largest chunk of native scrub habitat found this far south in Florida. Walking the northernmost trails in this preserve, you forget you’re in Boca Raton, especially when you keep spotting wildlife. 
Boca Art Museum
Downtown Mizner Park & Royal Palm Plaza 
Delray Beach
Deerfield Beach
The Everglades Park 
Stand Up Paddle Boarding; Snorkeling; Scuba; and More!

Retreat stays can be 2 nights up to one month long, as long as we have availability. Arrival and check in is on Monday, Thursday and Fridays between 2pm and 6pm. 

Best airports are West Palm Beach or Fort Lauderdale airports, both are equi-distant about 30 mins from us. Check out on departure day is 11am, (if your flight is later in the day, you are able to keep your luggage on premises and partake in activities). We recommend taking a Lyft or Uber from the airport.  If you have to fly into Miami - it is an hour+ away from us, you can take the Tri Rail Train to Boca Raton. The Brightline Train is faster then Tri-Rail and there are shuttles servicing two airports: Miami through the MIA Connector and Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood through the FLL Airport Connector, both of which run every day.

Location

Boca Raton is one of the most fun and active cities in South Florida. Boca Raton is a tropical destination, where beautiful homes line the streets around long stretches of white beaches. With tons of waterfront on the Intra-coastal and Atlantic Ocean, you will find lots of biking paths, themed restaurants, shopping areas, and a great night life. All within a 10-15 minute bike ride, guests will discover beaches, nature trails, galleries, boutiques and shopping areas, art and marine life museums, libraries, grocery shops, and of course lots of cafes and restaurants.  It is ideally located in between an international hot spot to the north, Delray Beach, and to the south, Deerfield Beach, both wonderful spots to visit as well.

Accommodations

Located in East Boca Raton, Florida, the Zen Den Yoga Wellness Center is a peaceful place. The 1+ acre property consists of 3 houses in a tropical setting with 2 outdoor yoga decks, 1 indoor yoga studio and our 500 sq. ft. Seminole Tiki hut for yoga, meditation and events. You can enjoy sitting in our crystal garden, hammocks, hanging in our aerial yoga silks, or just hanging from our inversion table.  We have a salt water pool and a hot tub; lots of outdoor lounging and seating spaces to enjoy the sunny weather. Our Infrared Sauna and Cold Plunge tub are available and very beneficial. Inside, there are plenty of welcoming spaces to meditate, study, leisurely read, or socialize with other guests, including 2 library spaces and state of the art kitchens. Guests can walk or bike to explore nearby attractions.

You will enjoy a zen experience in a private or shared room, and can choose to have an en suite bathroom for an added fee as well. Our rooms are decorated in a minimalistic way with 1 or 2 beds in each room and dressers for your belongings. All of our guest houses have Central Air Conditioning and we do have fans for those in need. Wi Fi is available throughout the property.

5 Stars All The Way!!
My experience at the Zen Den retreat Centre was exceptional. It was everything I needed, and then some. I participated in juicing, yoga, infrared saunas, ice baths, a colonic, and the best massages ever. I spent hours walking on the beach, swimming in the ocean, I went for bike rides, I napped, I meditated. I healed. I simply cannot say enough good things, especially about how fantastic the hosts are. If you’re considering booking a retreat, don’t hesitate to choose this one. It was literally life-changing for me. Thank you, Val and Ira! 😊🙏

5 Day Disconnect to Reconnect
This retreat serves it's purpose wonderfully. Valerie and Ira truly do everything possible to see that you are comfortable and receive all the services you are looking for. Morning meditations are varied and effective. Meditation on the beach was perfect! Yoga is better than most and is easily modified to your skill level. They believe in and practice Yogic principals and are happy to explain and train on those principals. The facilitators they employ are friendly and happy to help with anything you might want or need, Austin, the massage therapist is very good and intuitive. Highly recommend him as well. The only thing I would do differently is, book the 7 day rather than 5. Definitely could have used a couple of extra days and hope to return soon.
